Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a fatal crash involving a Mercedes in south east London which caused the death of a 61-year-old man.

Police were called at about 8.30pm on Tuesday (March 13) to reports of a crash at the junction of Picardy Manorway and Anderson Way in Belvedere which resulted in a Mercedes coming to a half on the roundabout and the occupants escaping on foot.

A second dark coloured car, believed to be an Audi, failed to stop at the scene.

The 61-year-old man has since been identified as Gbolahan Akinlolu Odulate from Erith.
